In the late eighties, despite mass indifference, TV Smith (more here), formerly of The Adverts (more HERE), fought on with a bracing electric band he dubbed, Cheap (more HERE). Today, we get to hear the band's lone Peel Session, a ferocious four-song statement of intent.
Don't miss the full stream of the one-hour BBC doc on TV Smith (and the Adverts, The Explorers and Cheap!) available as a full stream HERE!

1. Third Term
2. Silicon Valley Holiday

Hey, Jeffen -let us know what you think of Obama's performance last night. Oh, that's right he didn't show up. Why would you have a post regarding the debate when your hero got his ass kicked. I'm sure there would be a post if it was the other way around. Pathetic!
DeleteI may well post on that event (though I don't exactly do live-, up-to-the-minute blogging as you should know).
DeleteI'll give the devil his due and say that I thought Mitt brought the fight to Obama and will, in the eyes of the press, carry the day.
It's fascinating to see Republicans who sneered off both Gore and Kerry's victory in the debates, now crowing about their man, but that's politics, I suppose.
Bu the real loser was the truth. Mitt denying his own tax policy was a disgrace and one of the worst moments in presidential debate history.
You're welcome.
P.S. If the polls shows a bump, the likely outcome, will Republicans all of a sudden start believing in polls again?
As a non-American (US variety) maybe I shouldn't have a say about this but... Please think carefully about what you do in December. Even if you don't care about your fellow Americans and the idea that looking after No 1 is not a great idea (as well as a shit song by a shit band), consider that your vote affects everything in the world. From our view, Obama is pretty right wing, but at least he doesn't appear downright dangerous!
Deleteoops meant November!! Late Friday night here, alcohol flowing. We do know about your election. Honest!
DeleteAmericans get to elect the person known as The Leader of the Free World. Since that 'Free World' includes a great deal of us non-Americans, I believe it is our responsibility to understand their elections.
DeleteBeen looking for this - thank you
ReplyDeleteGlad to help out!
DeleteAha, I knew there'd be something else I don't have... Cheers, Jeff. Looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteIt's an excellent session!

That doc is so good but oh how the brevity hurts!
DeleteJeffen you promised and you delivered - thank you. Great versions of great songs, just as I remembered - was it really nearly 25 years ago.
